The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness

And so I turned inside once more
To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door

Then through the silence
It spoke that one word
that I shall hear forever more
Nevermore

Thus quoth the raven, nevermore
And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him

No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore
Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven

Nevermore
